these two.

Little Boston was Cooper's first friend when we moved to Phoenix, and his mother, mine. Except for a short time when both were learning how to play with others, they have thoroughly enjoyed each other for the past three-and-a half years.

Boston moved away today and it has been interesting to me how much of that process Cooper understands. He has some very sad and reflective moments when we talk about the Millers and Boston in particular. He knows his friend will now live near his cousins and the fact that they can still share a Legoland trip once in a while has eased the pain of his departure.

Some of Cooper's favorite memories of their time together include time in the swimming pool, park days, geotrax, legos, primary and ward parties, art projects, legoland adventures and preschool.

This morning as I drove them to preschool, they joked and laughed the whole way, playing silly games and laughing so hard with each other. Boston was a wonderful friend for Cooper to learn along-side. We'll miss you like crazy!!
